To everyone that needs them 🫂❤️ You're stronger than you think

So f*cking much sometimes. Why couldn't you just be that good person I know you can be?

Your SO that did absolutely horrible things while in a manic episode? I'm curious to hear other's opinions on accountability. Can someone in a manic episode (with possible psychosis) really have any real insight or control of what they do?

TW: mention of DV AND SI.

Will tell this without giving too many personal details about my ex. They have been in a manic episode for weeks now, and it's been made significanttly worse than usual because of something really devastating they're going through. I have empathy for their emotional state, but they have upended my life in a way I don't even know how to recover from. Now they are feverishly posting online falsely claiming DV occurred by me. The irony being that I feel genuinely afraid of them because of the things they've done to me in the past week (getting extremely aggressive, trashing my apt, getting physical) and I'm so afraid of further retaliation. Their mental state is so bad that they could be capable of doing anything at this point. Even though I'm doing really bad mentally myself because of all of this and I feel so upset for being accused of something so horrible, it still hurts me to seeing them like this. I know they aren't at all thinking clearly or rationally and they have been spiraling deeper into mania. I wish I could wake up from this nightmare. None of this needed to happen. I've been having suicidal ideation very bad all week and had to call 988. Has anyone else delt with similar from a partner or ex in a manic episode? I feel so alone
